What is Wapsi Vinyl D Rib Medium Clear?
Wapsi Vinyl D Rib is one of the most popular fly tying materials for creating durable, translucent and highly realistic bodies on nymphs and other subsurface flies. Its distinctive semi-round profile produces clean segmentation while adding body shape without unnecessary bulk.
The Clear version allows the colour of the underlying tying thread or dubbing to remain visible through the transparent vinyl, producing impressive depth and a natural three-dimensional appearance. The material is slightly stretchable, making it easy to wrap evenly and create precise body segmentation.
The Medium size is perfectly suited for tying nymphs and streamers on hook sizes #4–#10, where pronounced segmentation and realistic body proportions are essential.
